-PHIL KEOGHAN: Previously onTough As Nails... -It's not right.
KEOGHAN: Paul galvanized Savage Crew into action,
but in the end, their victory was bittersweet.
You told me to stop talking.
Stop talking and put it in.
I apologize.
KEOGHAN: In the individual challenge,
Paul stood up to the pressure and got a win...
Yeah!
KEOGHAN: ...while Jessica and Yesi
crumbled their way into overtime.
Each of you is going to make an eagle.
Jessica soared...
Thumbs up!
I'm not going anywhere.
KEOGHAN: ...leaving Yesi to punch out
of the individual competition.
Tonight...
You are going to be finishing off a track for motocross.
Will Dirty Hands even up the team score
or will Savage Crew race to a third Badge of Honor?
And in the individual challenge,
who will race to finish the job...
-I hate mud. -[cheering]
KEOGHAN: ...and who will get stuck in overtime?
This is Tough As Nails.
♪
KENJI: Good morning, Canada.
[laughter]
Let's go, team.
You know, that individual happened,
it stings, but there's something that is
exciting about doing these team challenges.
Yeah.
YESI: Savage Crew's up two to one, and, uh,
this is our opportunity to tie it up.
I just wish there was a better way to calm down
in the heat of a moment.
Like, do we have to be...? Like, where we're like...
-CHERYL: I know. -You know what I mean?
So, there's a really good study they did about driving,
and they had two cars and one car rushing
and then the other car just going the speed limit.
At the end of the day, they both arrived at the same time.
Hey, yeah, that's good.
So maybe we have our own check
-or our own word... -Yeah.
-I like that. -...that can be like
we-we collect ourselves.
-Maybe somebody just needs to shout out "speed check." -I like that.
-Work and speed check. -Speed check. -KENJI: Yep, speed check.
Just yell out speed check.
CARLY: I think we got something going.
Dude, you guys, we got our team challenge today.
[cheering]
Yeah, let's make some money.
I don't think we did a good job last time.
-Yeah. -[overlapping talking]
-I think we got lucky a little bit. -AKEELA: I think we got lucky.
There's that thing we say, like in, uh, my 12-step program.
-And it's like "principles before personalities." -JESSICA: Uh-huh.
-That is great. -Whatever is going on with your personal thing,
set it aside right now, and we're just going to focus
on the goal, which is finishing and winning.
Yeah. Let's be proud when we win this one.
JESSICA: So the last team challenge,
there was a lot of yelling.
T-The energy was a little off.
I talk a lot about my time in the army.
You learn how to adapt to new people,
how to mesh well with people.
So, I think moving into today's challenge,
everybody agrees that that's one thing
that we need to work on.
Ah, those beautiful, clean team uniforms.
[laughter]
Promise you this, you will not be leaving this job site clean.
-Man. -Poor Akeela.
Are you over the getting dirty, Akeela?
Nah, let's do it.
[laughter]
Team score right now,
two to Savage Crew. One to Dirty Hands.
First team to get to five Badges of Honor
is going to walk home with that cash bonus prize of $60,000.
Yeah.
KEOGHAN: Carolina, I know you love motorbikes.
Could you tell everybody what this is?
A dirt track. Yeah.
-KEOGHAN: A dirt track for motocross. -Mm-hmm.
So let me tell you a little bit about this job.
These things that are right next to you,
that is what you are going to be building today, some whoops.
There are five whoops built on these two sections of the track.
You guys are going to be finishing three more of them.
The shape of them has to be precise.
19 feet wide, 12 feet long,
a foot and a half high.
There are some templates to give you the shape.
You've each got your own pile of dirt
as well as a community pile in the middle.
You each have your own Skid-Steer.
You've got some wheelbarrows, some rakes, shovels,
and a tamping tool
'cause we got to get that soil nice and compact.
First team to get the job done today
is going to win $12,000...
[cheering]
...and today's Badge of Honor.
-And, Carolina, have you ever been to a motocross race? -Yeah, of course.
It's muddy, it's fun and it's loud.
So get ready. Yes.
See, listen how quiet it is right now.
Peaceful.
CAROLINA: Whoo!
-[murmuring] -Woo-hoo!
CAROLINA: Awesome.
Oh!
[engine revving]
[cheers and applause]
Say good morning, everybody.
-Good morning. -This is Sean, Brandon.
Sean owns the place, let us on his property.
We've had this place for about 20 years
and it was a practice facility
for my, uh, kid's amateur motocross.
And then, uh, Brandon here
brought it to the state you see it in now,
full-blown professional motocross track.
Turned out really good.
-You all ready to get the job done? -ALL: Yeah!
All right. Get to your workstations.
Strategize, figure out who's going to be the crew boss.
CHERYL: I feel really comfortable heading this up,
if-if that's all right with you. I really do.
Okay, everyone in favor of Cheryl?
-I think you're a good leader. -All right, you're crew boss.
-You're on the-on the Bobcat? -Yeah, I'm in.
TODD: I've utilized Skid-Steers pretty much my whole life.
Growing up in a farming environment, doing landscaping,
you use Skid-Steers.
Snow removal, you use Skid-Steers.
I own my own Skid-Steer.
Who wants to be the crew boss?
-Oh, you can-- -JESSICA: Carolina?
-I think you should be crew boss. -I can do it.
I love motorcycles because they have given me
the way to find my own voice.
I ride with a bunch of women that inspire me
to be my highest self.
So I'm ready to hustle and do as 300% for my team.
JESSICA: Who's running the Skid?
I'm starting off.
JESSICA: Marcus, you're good with that?
-Yeah. -JESSICA: That's awesome.
-I think that's great. -Put the dirt in the middle.
Exactly what I'm gonna do.
I drove a tractor before.
I'm really ready to do this.
Hard work, work.
ALL: Savage Crew!
-Dirty... -Hands!
All right, guys.
Have we got some fight in us?
[cheering]
All right, let's get the job done.
On the work whistle.
[work whistle blows]
CHERYL: Carly, grab the stakes.
I'll get the template and the hammer, yep.
Far corner.
We've got to do three of these whoops.
Ben and Kenji and Yesi's
on the wheelbarrows getting dirt.
Carly and I are going to build our mounds
to the templates on the end
and then tamp it down.
[engine starting up]
KEOGHAN: And Todd has his Skid-Steer started.
DUSTIN: I'm going to be wheelbarrowing with Jessica and Akeela.
Carolina and Paul go to the templates
to get them staked in.
PAUL: Don't put them in too deep.
DUSTIN: And Marcus runs to the Skid-Steer
to grab the first big load.
KEOGHAN: Marcus seems to be having some trouble starting up.
It won't come out of park!
KEOGHAN: That's a great pour coming from Todd.
-[cheering] -[horn beeping]
AKEELA: So I look up and I'm like, "Why is Marcus not moving?"
[laughs]
KEOGHAN: That's eating up a lot of time,
as Todd picks up his second bucket.
CAROLINA: Come on, Marcus!
Akeela, do you think, like, he can go faster than him?
-Switch him out? -Yeah, trade him.
AKEELA: We switch out.
I have never driven a Skid-Steer before,
but as a firefighter, you got to adapt on the fly.
You know, if something's not working, you got to change it up
and do something else.
Come on, Akeela.
CAROLINA: Thank you. Thank you.
Nice work, Dirty!
KEOGHAN: And Akeela has definitely picked up speed
since she took over.
Oh, yeah. She's moving.
-Down. -CAROLINA: Down.
-Go, go, go. -Go.
CAROLINA: I have been building all of my life.
So, like, growing up with two civil engineers as parents,
and being on construction sites, working in motorcycle shops,
I built a motorcycle track,
the first flat track in Houston.
KEOGHAN: The work rate from both teams is very impressive.
[grunting]
Dustin, I'm going to start tamping.
-DUSTIN: Yeah. -No, we need two wheelbarrows right now.
Get her here and here.
Let's do two more and then we can start the next one.
All right, keep moving. Keep moving.
-Yeah, but I got to guide her. -I know, I can guide her, too.
-Okay, guide her. -Kenji, come on over here.
KEOGHAN: Cheryl has everybody organized.
CHERYL: We have to understand what it takes
to make one whoop successful.
Once we understand everything about that
and fix any mistakes we made,
we can then now avoid making mistakes
on the second and the third one.
KEOGHAN: Carolina is already pulling out the line.
She wants to see where they're at.
CAROLINA: We're so high in the middle.
It's very important for us to use the strings
and have our measurements correct.
PAUL: [bleep] the rope, [bleep] damn it.
No, I'm not going to forget the freaking thing.
T-That's going to help us.
Hey, listen, I think we're too high in the middle.
That's what I wanted the-the... It's okay.
-Put it on the ground. -CARLY: Copy.
And we're going to just scrape.
KEOGHAN: This is interesting.
Cheryl's getting her team to use the template
to help figure out the shape.
One, two, three.
TODD: When you got to have a contour,
and it's the same thing when you're screeding concrete,
you get it in a rough shape where it's close
and then you run that across it
and it gives you the final shape
and then tamp it down and we are good to go.
-Carolina. -Hold on, I can't do three things.
Hold on. There. Up, down.
MARCUS: Y'all think it's too early?
Trying to figure out the measurements.
I think everybody's kind of frustrated.
You hear them kind of bickering back at each other.
This is frustrating.
No, no, no, no. Let me see.
-Let me show you. -Oh, my God, okay.
You take-- No, no, no. Look.
CAROLINA: I'm not a leader that will, like, scream at you.
I know I can lead, but yeah,
we all had jobs specified
and people are not doing
what they say they were going to be doing.
-[horn beeps] -Perfect. Thank you.
Sorry if I'm getting sweat on you, but I...
kind of sweat like a pig.
-CARLY: Do not care. -[laughs]
I want money. I want a W, guys.
-Up. -KEOGHAN: Savage Crew finally working on their second whoop,
but they've got a lot of pounding to do
on this first one.
BEN: Come on!
CARLY: Speed check, speed check, speed check.
CHERYL: We don't have to be frantic, guys.
We are good.
PAUL: That's too high.
-We got to bring some here. -Yeah, hold on.
Hold on, pull the string. No, no, no, hold the string.
Get the string out of the way.
I think this is good.
-We're almost-- -Check!
KEOGHAN: Dirty Hands, can they get
a sign off on their first whoop?
The judges are going to run five lines across each whoop,
making sure they are perfectly shaped.
Your line cannot touch the ground.
CARLY: We don't want to make any mistakes because
Savage Crew is right on our tail.
-Over there. -Where?
KEOGHAN: That is a thumbs down.
CHERYL: Check.
KEOGHAN: Dirty Hands looking for a sign off
on the first of their three whoops.
The judges are going to run five lines
over each of the whoops,
making sure that they're perfectly shaped.
CARLY: And it's no go.
We've actually put too much dirt
for our first whoop,
so we need to take this down.
We're going to need another [bleep] load here.
I kept telling that, you guys were like,
"Let's start the third one."
-I mean-- -PAUL: Okay, let's not argue.
DUSTIN: Carolina's trying to take the lead.
A lot of people are saying different things.
There is a little bit of communication breakdown.
Everyone needs to listen to the crew boss
or we're going to lose.
Guys, keep going.
-Check. -Check please.
KEOGHAN: Dirty Hands looking for a second check
on their first whoop.
-That's way too much. -I'm working on it here.
KEOGHAN: First line. Template's in place.
Check is good for Dirty Hands.
They got their first line done.
They're moving on to the second.
They got one thumbs up. They need five.
Yes, thumbs up for the second line.
CARLY: Can you just make sure it's straight?
KEOGHAN: And thumbs up for the third line for Dirty Hands.
CHERYL: We're going to set these templates, Carly.
-Yes! -They get this one,
Dirty Hands will have their first whoop complete.
-[cheering] -And Dirty Hands get their first whoop complete.
Don't look at them. Look at us.
Moving on to the second.
BEN: We finally get a check on our first whoops,
and w-we're on to the second one.
And we're going to do it quicker this time.
We're realizing that it's easier to add more
than to take it away.
Can we get a check?
PAUL: Let's do it, let's get a check.
Oh, here comes Savage Crew.
Check is not good for Savage Crew.
Check your work.
JESSICA: See right there? Scrape it down
instead of pushing it back up, push the dirt down.
CAROLINA: Okay, this is what happened last time.
Like, sometimes-- Just let me do it my way. Sorry.
I know how to use tools,
but when people start screaming at me,
that's when I doubt myself,
and that's when I make mistakes.
I am just so frustrated right now.
AKEELA: You the boss. You know how to do it.
Don't second guess yourself.
JESSICA: Carolina was just, like, kind of moving the dirt around,
and I'm like, no, we have too much dirt.
You can't move it. You got to get it off the mound.
And I don't think she was really understanding
what I was saying either.
Push it down because you're just moving the dirt
from side to side. It needs to go down off the hill.
-All right, screed it. -I'm screeding.
I told myself I wasn't going to get dirty today.
That's all right. There's money involved.
Akeela wants this.
She doesn't want to let Dirty Hands have it today.
Hell no, I don't want them to win.
KEOGHAN: Savage Crew spreading their resources out
across all three whoops.
Whereas Dirty Hands finished the first one
and then got to the second.
DUSTIN: We don't need all teammates on one whoop.
So as people are doing
the fine shaping of the first whoops,
we'll work on the second and third one.
Some good hits coming from Carolina.
Tapping where that line is touching.
This is very smart.
Tapping over the top of the line.
They're a lot further along than Dirty Hands
on their third whoop.
Maybe this was the way to do it.
It ain't over till it's over.
-Okay. Check, please. -Check.
KEOGHAN: Dirty Hands looking for a check on their second whoop.
Come on, y'all. I need a sense of urgency with that first one.
Good. Good.
-There we go. -Good.
-KEOGHAN: Yes. -[cheering] -Thank you.
Dirty Hands have got a check on their second whoop.
Okay, can we get a check?
Savage Crew have asked for a check on their first.
If Savage Crew get a check on this first whoop,
the second one's in good shape,
and they've gone a long way on their third,
and Dirty Hands have not done a lot on their third.
-[cheering] -And thumbs up for Savage Crew.
Their first whoop is complete.
[overlapping talking]
KEOGHAN: Moving on to the second.
Dirty Hands are working on their third whoop.
Savage Crew need two more checks,
but they've done a lot of work on these last two of theirs.
Hey, we're doing good. We're doing good.
This side actually looks really good, you guys.
PAUL: Final moment of this challenge,
I said, we're actually getting this.
Good job, everybody. Good job.
This is close.
Yeah, right there.
Dirty Hands is short soil. Looks like Akeela
did a better job of judging how much soil they need.
CAROLINA: Come on. Check it again.
-PAUL: I will. -Check it again.
It's going to come down to the third whoop.
Hey, we're still super high
Guys, this is our last one.
We got a cold beer waiting for us. Hah.
Savage Crew still haven't got a sign off
on the second whoop.
It's okay. We're getting close.
JESSICA: Okay, let's tamp it, smooth it.
KEOGHAN: Dirty Hands have made up for a lot of lost time
on this third whoop.
Let's go. Come on!
We got to move a lot of dirt.
JESSICA: Yeah. It's all right.
[grunting]
Smooth it and tamp it.
Savage Crew have decided to go over to their third whoop
before getting a sign off on their second.
Start tamping it.
JESSICA: Smooth it, you guys.
Look at Dirty Hands go!
Speed check, speed check.
KEOGHAN: Can Savage Crew bring out a win?
That's it. That's what I want.
We looking good? We ready? Check!
KEOGHAN: Dirty Hands have called in the judges.
PAUL: ♪ I hate dirt.♪
-Yes. -Yes.
-And Dirty Hands with the win! -[cheering]
-Dirty Hands! -[whooping]
[cheering and laughing]
DUSTIN: I feel like there's a lot of cooks in the kitchen.
Everybody had their idea.
Uh, being a firefighter, it's always the job first,
and then you figure any problems or issues out after.
Just need to talk about it in the van ride.
Dirty Hands, you came out here today, you've evened it up.
The score is two apiece.
So, Cheryl, I do want to hand it to you today
as the crew boss, did a fantastic job,
and with that comes another Badge of Honor.
Thank you, Phil.
-Yes. -You know we love that badge.
And you love what else?
-Cash. -You love the cash.
Love the cash.
I got the cash. $12,000 for your team.
-Thank you so much. -Yes.
[cheering and applause]
Carolina, are you okay?
What is it?
[laughing]
-It's a hard loss for me. -KEOGHAN: It's a hard loss?
This one was tough. We all worked hard.
We just got to look at the next job
and-and see where we can improve on our communication
and clearer roles.
Well, you guys can talk about it on the drive home.
Ooh, Lord.
CAROLINA: I understand we're all alphas.
Like, everybody was trying to do it their own way
instead of like us together as one solid...
you know, team.
PAUL: [bleep] the rope, [bleep] damn it.
Hey, listen, I think we're too high in the middle.
I think we got to talk about how we feel
or we're just going to have underlying tension
going forward.
Me, personally, I know nothing about dirt. I can't stand dirt.
So whoever told me what to do, I did it
'cause I know nothing about it,
and I swore the whole [bleep] damn time.
There's lots of people saying lots of different things.
Exactly.
One person got to lead and everybody's got to listen
and do what they told.
Yeah, but some of you don't [bleep] listen.
You just, like, talk over whoever is the boss.
-That, too. -You're right. You're absolutely right.
And that's so frustrating.
Like, I build tracks with my own hands.
Yep, and that's why we made you crew boss.
-Exactly. -And it's like-- I have two parents
who are civil engineers, and I'm like, let's do the string.
Right off the bat, "No, we don't need the string."
Just listen, for once.
Seriously.
And I'm tired.
I don't want to [bleep] lose.
I want to [bleep] win.
You guys are not-- You didn't punch out. I did.
I'm just so [bleep] mad right now,
and I don't want to be like this.
CARLY: Go, Ben. Go, Kenji. Go, Cheryl.
-Go, Yesi. Go, Todd. Go, Carly. -TODD: Whoo.
BEN: I hope you guys all do well in this individual.
I don't want any more out, but, um...
if it comes down to it
and I got to take you guys out, then just so be it.
[laughter]
TODD: After that little letdown.
My motivation today is my fiancée.
Truly, if it wasn't for her,
I wouldn't be where I'm at...
today, owning my own company.
Um...
You know, um, I struggled with addiction for a while,
and, uh, you know you found the right person
When she goes through that dark times with you
and she doesn't give up on you.
Being in the oil industry, it's tough.
Y-You're away from home, and sometimes
you can get yourself caught into
things that you don't want to be a part of.
You don't have that support system
that you feel like you need.
She's seen the better in me,
and, uh, she stuck around,
and so, um, yeah.
TODD: That's cool.
-I love that. -Good for you, Ben.
-Cheers to Carly. -Cheers to Carly. Yeah.
CHERYL: Hey, good morning, everybody.
-[overlapping chatter] -Morning. -Hey.
Morning, guys.
Morning, everyone. Come on over to the mud pit.
MARCUS: Yesterday was a tough loss.
Today is a new day, a new challenge.
I'm not ready to punch out yet.
My three grandkids,
I want to show them they Papa can do it.
They look up to me,
so I want to leave a good example.
-Good morning, guys. -ALL: Good morning.
Did you notice that there's a lot of mud here?
-Yeah. -Yeah.
Flamingos don't like mud.
KEOGHAN: Today's job, it's a fun job.
As you can see, there are two racing lanes.
You'll be paired up in five heats.
So you're going to be starting where those hay bales are.
You'll be running through the mud pit, over to the ATVs.
Get on your ATV. You're going to drive into the mud pit,
stop your ATV in the middle of the mud pit,
and there will be a log.
Attach the log to your ATV and drag it out.
Park the ATV up against the hay bales,
detach the log and stand it up between the rocks.
Now, on Tough As Nails,we are about power-to-weight ratio.
Each of those logs has been calibrated
to one-third of your body weight.
So what happens if you get stuck?
Got to be a winch on there.
Thank you.
As you noticed, there is a winch.
A winch is just a cable
that's attached to an electric motor
and just pulls you right out whenever you're stuck.
And we have money on the line today.
$4,000.
-Oh, baby. -Nice.
-Let's go. -Let's go.
KEOGHAN: So you want to work for the win.
Of course, the two people with the slowest times
go to overtime.
Grab your spanner, and that will determine what heat you're in.
Let's get this job done.
Marcus, Jessica, you're the first out of the gate,
the first heat.
On the work whistle.
Time to get to work.
[work whistle blows]
Whoo!
Marcus using those long legs to get down to the end.
MARCUS: I used to run track, play football,
so I know how to run.
So I high-step across the water, it made me get there faster.
KEOGHAN: You guys are setting the pace.
Marcus, first one into the pit.
JESSICA: I just hit the gas.
I put it in low gear just to make sure
that I wasn't going to get stuck.
Just don't get stuck.
That's the objective.
Now we've got to get this log out of the mud.
Hook it up to their ATV.
[cheering]
And here goes Marcus, giving it everything.
MARCUS: When you think you're going to get stuck,
you're going to get stuck.
I tell my kid when I'm coaching football,
don't let them get in your head.
It's a mental thing.
Just get out there and get after it.
KEOGHAN: And Marcus hits the hay bale,
runs to the back of his ATV.
And here comes Jessica.
Got to lift that log and put it standing up into the rocks.
Marcus gets the job done.
Keep going, Jessica!
KEOGHAN: Jessica gets the job done.
PAUL: Wow, that was awesome!
KEOGHAN: That was beautiful. That was quick.
Marcus, your legs...
It looked like three strides and you were across it.
Floating on water.
I'm a track runner. I run track.
KEOGHAN: Heat number two.
Akeela, Cheryl, do not be the slowest today.
Slowest two going into overtime.
-[work whistle blows] -[whooping, shouting]
AKEELA: My strategy getting to the ATV
is you don't really want to step in the mud,
you want to step in the puddles.
When you step into the mud, that's when you get stuck.
In jiu-jitsu, I've learned that you need
to focus on what you can control.
-CARLY: Go, go, go! -[Cheryl grunts]
KEOGHAN: Oh, and Cheryl goes down.
-Get up, Cheryl! -Get up, Cheryl!
CHERYL: I hurt myself.
-AKEELA: She all right? -CHERYL: I want to finish this.
I hurt myself.
[grunting]
Oh, [bleep].
KEOGHAN: We got this!
Akeela, you're still on the clock.
Finish the job.
CHERYL: It was as though the mud just grabbed my foot
and pulled it from underneath me.
I'm not tapping out. I'm not bagging out on this
because that guarantees that I'm last.
I want to finish this.
That mud is holding her down.
-It pulls you down? -Yeah, yeah.
Hope she okay.
CHERYL: There's no way I'm going to let anything
stop me from completing what I have to do.
KEOGHAN: Cheryl's got a sore muscle, but she's not stopping.
YESI: Yeah, Cheryl!
You're my hero, Cheryl!
-Let's go, Cheryl! -BEN: Come on, firecracker.
-KENJI: You got this. -JESSICA: Let's go.
KEOGHAN: Oh, and Akeela's stuck in the mud.
JESSICA: Come on, babe.
[cheering]
AKEELA: We have a saying in jiu-jitsu:
"Tap, snap, or nap."
She didn't tap today.
She's willing to go all the way.
She's not a quitter and she's not going to give up.
[engine revving]
Here we go. There we go.
Mud flying everywhere.
Come on, babe.
KEOGHAN: And Akeela out.
Beautiful stop.
Now we got to undo that log.
CARLY: Come on, Cheryl!
KEOGHAN: Time's ticking away.
Here comes Cheryl up to her log.
CARLY: Come on, Cheryl, you're doing great!
Akeela gets the job done!
-[overlapping shouting] -There you go, Cheryl.
CHERYL: Even though Akeela was long gone,
I knew I had to make time.
This challenge was all about time.
KEOGHAN: Every minute counts.
Remember, the two slowest times going into overtime.
Out she goes. Whoo!
[cheering and applause]
[groaning]
And Cheryl gets the job done.
-What a warrior. -YESI: No quit.
TODD: That's my crew boss right there.
BEN: What a warrior.
KEOGHAN: Carly and Paul.
Remember, we're looking at the fastest overall time today.
Slowest two going into overtime.
-On the work whistle. -[work whistle blows]
-Go. Go, go. -Go.
PAUL: My strategy, try to run
like a gazelle right through that muck.
Didn't work. It sucks your feet down.
-[grunts] -KEOGHAN: Oh!
PAUL: You ever have a dream
where you're running and you ain't moving?
[chuckling]: That's... that's what it feels like.
KEOGHAN: And right into the mud at exactly the same time.
CARLY: Being joyful, enthusiastic can sometimes
be perceived as not focused.
YESI: Go, Carly!
CARLY: That is misleading.
I'm very competitive.
I'm going to be a silent killer.
-TODD: That's it, Carly. -YESI: Go, Carly!
-Come on, Carly, you got it. -[engine revving]
KEOGHAN: Oh, and Paul is stuck.
Carly's going to go for the winch.
YESI: Good job, Carly, go!
Go, Carly!
-Makin' moves! -Makin' moves!
TODD: Don't stop, Carly, you got this, pal, you go.
Don't forget to disconnect your logs
at the back of your ATVs.
[cheering]
Can't pull that log out on the winch.
It'll burn it up. Paul is getting his winch line.
YESI: Carly, you got a dig deep, sister.
-[panting] -KEOGHAN: Paul's breathing deep.
-That's right, you have to work it, work it. -Come on, Paul!
I'm not giving up.
-AKEELA: We know you're not. -KEOGHAN: Never give up.
-Hurry up, let's go. -Let's go.
KEOGHAN: Canada is stuck in the mud in their own country.
AKEELA: Let's go, y'all!
YESI: Come on, Car!
CAROLINA: There you go, there you go!
[engines revving]
CARLY: I'm using my body.
I'm constantly wiggling
to get this thing out.
KEOGHAN: It's the... It's a wiggle that works.
What a rhythm.
Come on, Carly. You got this.
You're almost there! Almost there!
YESI: Come on, Carly!
KEOGHAN: She's wiggling her way out like a fever in Canada.
Here she goes.
[cheering]
And Carly is out finally.
Now she has to go back and get that log.
Let's go, Paul.
-Oh, Paul is caked in mud. -Come on, Paul.
Who's driving home with Paul tonight?
Because that's going to be a stinky ride.
[cheering]
CARLY: I run my own business.
KEOGHAN: There it is.
CARLY: I've had many things in my way,
but you learn to like, oh, is that a lock?
Oh, here's a tool. [clicks]
Break it apart. Open that door.
You get through that challenge.
KEOGHAN: And stop the clock for Carly.
Yeehaw!
[whooping]
KEOGHAN: There you go.
-[engine revving] -[excited chattering]
-And Paul is out of the pit. -Nice work, Paul.
KEOGHAN: He's got to get this log.
This is going to be a heavy log, too.
CHERYL: As I'm watching, I'm like, I think
this is longer than my time.
I knew that there was a chance
that somebody else in another heat
was going to be slower than I was.
Please don't let me be last.
Dig deep, Paul!
[groaning]
-KEOGHAN: There he goes. -[cheering]
PAUL: I've been through hell and back.
It's tough, but I have that extra reserve in there
to say, uh-uh, you're not winning, I am.
[cheering]
KEOGHAN: And stop the clock for Paul.
[whooping and cheering]
KEOGHAN: Our fourth heat,
Kenji and Dustin.
On the work whistle.
KENJI: I think I have a really good advantage.
I'm low to the ground.
I'm very, very quick with my feet.
-[work whistle blows] -Go, go, go.
As a kid in Vietnam,
I started running, not by choice.
Kids would pick on me.
-[overlapping shouting] -KEOGHAN: Oh!
KENJI: The thing I really wanted most was just attention.
But I couldn't get that from my parents
because they were so busy working
to provide food for me.
So I would just act out.
I was rude, I was mean,
so I would get beat up a lot.
[engines revving]
I would make sure that
if they wanted to beat me,
they would have to earn it.
So here's this eight-year-old
running through the rice field
just to get away
and they would have to catch up to me.
KEOGHAN: Kenji and Dustin got their logs attached.
But Dustin is not going anywhere.
He's stuck.
[engines revving]
DUSTIN: I'm from Edmonton.
It's the northernly most major city in Canada.
We're known for being tough 'cause we put up with
long, cold winters.
KEOGHAN: Uh-oh, Kenji and Dustin, looks like both
are going straight to the winch.
DUSTIN: We go to a fire
walking in a foot and a half to two feet of snow.
You got to keep moving and you got to keep working.
CARLY: Nice work, Kenji.
JESSICA: All right, Dustin. You got it, buddy.
Way lighter than a hose.
CARLY: Come on, Kenji.
[engine revving]
I can't watch this.
KEOGHAN: Kenji now sitting way back on his ATV,
revving it up.
CARLY: Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
YESI: Go, Kenji!
KENJI: I start winching that in
and I'm revving and revving and I feel some traction
and luckily I just take off.
[cheering]
KEOGHAN: And Kenji gets his ATV out.
Dustin is still stuck
-back in the middle of the pit. -JESSICA: Come on, Dustin.
Yeah, Kenji, you can do it.
[cheering]
YESI: Come on, Kenji.
KEOGHAN: Dustin, still in the mud.
JESSICA: Go, Dustin!
[cheering]
KEOGHAN: And stop the clock for Kenji.
-PAUL: Come on, Dustin. -JESSICA: Come on, Dustin.
KEOGHAN: He's got the Carly Canadian wiggle going.
CARLY: Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.
Yeah, you're almost there.
He's so close. He's sitting on the edge.
He's on the edge. The mud is flying.
And finally Dustin gets out.
MARCUS: He's got to go get that log!
-You got this, you got this! -CARLY: Nice work, nice work, nice work.
He knows the seconds are counting down.
MARCUS: There you go. There you go.
[cheering]
JESSICA: Good job, Dustin.
-You got this. -Good job.
-KEOGHAN: And stop the clock for Dustin. -[cheering]
Our final pairing, Todd and Ben. Let's do this.
TODD: We're back in my element today
and I like working in dirt.
It reminds me of being back on the farm when I was growing up.
When you start plowing a fresh field and you smell that smell,
it's just like refreshing
and reinvigorates you.
On the work whistle.
AKEELA: Let's go, boys.
-[work whistle blows] -[cheering]
KEOGHAN: Whoo! Ben goes down.
CARLY: Nice work. Nice work.
BEN: Immediately when I get on the ATV,
all I think was I'm going to throw it into high first
to get the quickest speed as I could.
KEOGHAN: And they are gunning it.
MARCUS: Oh.
KEOGHAN: Ben went real deep into the mud there.
KENJI: He stalled.
Uh-oh. He stalled it.
KEOGHAN: Looks like the engine is down.
Come on, Ben, figure it out.
She's just [bleep] dead, man.
-YESI: Come on, Ben, -AKEELA: Figure it out.
She's just [bleep] dead, man.
I gave it full throttle
and I just nosedive
right directly into the mud.
-The mud got in. -KEOGHAN: Yeah.
Looks like mud got right into the air intake
and it stalled out.
BEN: I'm trying a few times
to start it back up,
but it's not working.
-CHERYL: All right, Todd. -KEOGHAN: Todd has got his log attached.
TODD: By having a chance to watch the other rounds,
you got to see what was a good thing to do
and a bad thing to do.
[revving]
KEOGHAN: He's ten feet away.
He's a bit stuck.
-CARLY: Wiggle, wiggle! -YESI: Wiggle, wiggle!
TODD: I learned the good thing to do
is once you get stuck,
don't mess around.
Go out and hook the winch up.
Come on, Todd.
-Todd going to his winch line. -CHERYL: Come on, Todd.
KEOGHAN: Remember, it's about the fastest time today.
Who could win $4,000?
-No, but nothing's moving. -He's not in gear, though. -Neutral.
-[Todd grunts] -Yay, Todd. -[cheering]
CHERYL: Let's go.
JESSICA: Straight for your granddaughters.
Good job, Todd.
KEOGHAN: Ben has figured it out.
He's got that mud out of the engine
just restarting it over and over.
-There it is! -[cheering]
KENJI: Let's go, Todd.
KEOGHAN: Stop the clock for Todd.
JESSICA: You got it, Ben.
KEOGHAN: Let's go, Ben. You've faced bigger challenges than this.
You've been on the high seas in a perfect storm.
-You got to dig deep, Ben. -Come on, Ben.
KEOGHAN: There you go!
CHERYL: Gotta get that thing going.
-There you go. -He's back, yeah.
-JESSICA: Yeah, buddy. -KENJI: There you go, there you go.
-Yeah, buddy. -Nice.
KEOGHAN: Ah, he's trying a little bit of the Carly wiggle.
Well, he is Canadian after all.
KENJI: There you go, yeah.
-KEOGHAN: And... -[cheering, whooping]
Ben gets himself out of the pit.
Now he's got to go get this log.
This log is the heaviest log of anybody's.
Pick up this tree.
JESSICA: Get that tree!
KEOGHAN: Oh, it's a heavy one.
Use your legs, use your legs!
KEOGHAN: Get that tree on your shoulder.
-[grunting] -[cheering]
-Let's go, Ben! -Come on!
CHERYL: Come on, Ben!
KEOGHAN: Oh, he goes down!
Dig deep, Ben!
KEOGHAN: That's it, Ben.
All the way to the end.
And stop the clock for Ben.
-[cheers and applause] -Yeah.
Eh. Is what it is.
Remember, there is $4,000 on the line here today.
And the winner, undisputed winner...
$4,000...
Marcus!
-[cheering] -Under a minute.
Marcus Jones, buddy!
MARCUS: I'm onTough As Nails
'cause I'm Marcus Jones.
KEOGHAN: It came down to three seconds.
-Akeela, number two. -[cheering]
Under a minute as well, Akeela.
Agh, three seconds.
Number three.
You might have called her the O.T. O.G.,
-but she was third, Jessica. -Not today, not today!
Fourth fastest, nothing can stop her,
-Cheryl. -Cheryl!
[cheering]
CHERYL: I can't believe I'm in fourth place.
Thank you, God. I appreciate this.
-KEOGHAN: Number five, Kenji. -Kenji. -All right!
-Six, Todd. -Yeah. -Yeah, buddy.
-Seven, Ben. -[cheering]
And then there were three,
and they happen to be three Canadians.
Go figure.
Dustin, you're safe.
Overtime will be Carly and Paul.
We'll make the most of it.
Paul is a formidable opponent,
but he gets a little flustered quite quickly.
I'm pretty centered
when it comes to my work ethic.
PAUL: There's a lot of pressure.
I'm doing this for my family.
And people with cancer just say, hey, you know something?
He's not going to give up.
That's what's got to go through your head.
I'm not ready to punch out.
Unfortunately, Carly and Paul, you found yourself in overtime.
This is a chance for you to fight your way back
into the individual competition.
There is a lot on the line. The job is pretty simple.
You've got to replace the two worn-out shocks
on these ATVs as fast as you possibly can.
You have jacks, you have shocks, you have tools.
How you plan out the job is totally up to you.
On the work whistle,
you'll be racing across this mud and water
and you will find yourselves over here at your ATVs.
Just like you, your ATVs are extremely muddy.
So, you do have the option
to pick up one of those pressure washers
to clean off the job to make it a little easier
to access the old shocks and put in the new ones.
Once you have completed replacing
the two shocks on the front,
got your wheels back on,
drive your ATV and knock over these hay bales
on either side.
First person to get it done
stays in contention for the Tough As Nailstitle.
If you're last,
you're going to be punching out.
-You ready for this? -Yes. -Yep.
-Let's go, guys. -All right, guys. -Make Canada proud.
One of us will.
-One of us will, yeah. -[laughs]
On the work whistle.
[work whistle blows]
[cheering]
I'm trying to find my inner Marcus
and run across water.
-Good work, good work. -JESSICA: Good job, Paul.
CARLY: My plan of attack
is to grab the power washer,
make sure that I'm prepared, set myself up for success.
[cheering]
You've done this before.
PAUL: I'm a licensed automotive technician,
but I haven't changed shocks in, like, nine years.
Where I work right now, it's on forklifts.
There's no shocks.
I didn't need a pressure washer.
That's more running for me.
That's a waste of time.
Two different strategies.
Carly yet to get started on her ATV.
-Ugh. -She's just working away on that pressure washer.
Paul is starting to loosen the lug nuts on his wheels.
-Oh, we got it. -KEOGHAN: Carly has pressure.
Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows, baby.
That's what's up, Carly.
KEOGHAN: Carly has the jack underneath the front of her ATV.
JESSICA: Good job, Paul.
PAUL: I knew I was going to be a mechanic
'cause I've been tinkering all my life.
KEOGHAN: Paul working really well with his fingers.
Good dexterity.
At the age of 16,
I took the fender off my father's car.
Boy, was he pissed. [laughs]
I wanted to see how it was bolted on there.
And that's when I thought, oh, wait a minute here.
When it comes to mechanical stuff,
I think I'm pretty good.
[grunts]
Keep going, Paul.
Paul is using his hands to clean up the job.
Instead of the power washing, he's just grabbing that mud.
I should've... [bleep].
KEOGHAN: Now that the wheel is off the ground
-[grunts] -she hasn't got that leverage.
It's okay, work with what you already did.
[panting]
♪ I shouldn't have jacked up my ATV.♪
Why did I do that?
The wheels are on the ground,
so I have no resistance to get the lugs off.
When you're in the heat of the moment,
you-you think you're going to lose
more time backtracking.
Stay with you. Eyes forward.
-[grunts] -[tools rattling]
KEOGHAN: Now that the wheel's off the ground,
she hasn't got that leverage.
There you go.
Carly finds a way to brace the wheel.
Finding a way to get it done.
CARLY: As an electrician,
being able to adapt and be resourceful
is something I'm great at.
KEOGHAN: Carly has your tire off.
-Yay. -Let's go, Carly.
KEOGHAN: Paul's working just with his hands.
He's not even looking inside.
He's just going with feel.
My motto is, "If man made it, these hands can fix it."
KEOGHAN: Paul with his first shock out.
Carly also cleaning up the job site with her hands.
I'm realizing that the mud isn't too bad
to get off with my hands.
That pressure washer is going to be in my nightmares.
KEOGHAN: Paul has that first shock on.
He's going for the tire.
PAUL: While I'm here on my knees,
might as well install the wheel
and get that side done.
CARLY: Nice work, Paul.
Hate you, but like, you know...
-Love you, too. -[laughter]
There we go. Good boy.
KEOGHAN: Attaching the new one.
Taut. Happy.
Making up ground, Carly.
CARLY: I've done one. I just got to do another.
There's no variables now.
I just have to mimic what I did before.
But quicker.
Rinse and repeat.
What have you got in you, Carly?
-JESSICA: Good job, Carly. -Come on.
[panting]
-KEOGHAN: Lot of strength. -[grunts]
Ooh, there's a lot of torque.
[grunts]
KEOGHAN: Ah. That's some great work there from Carly.
Thank you.
-Wedging her leg against the tire -[grunts]
as Paul tightens up his second shock.
Paul's moving all his tools
and the old shocks out of the way.
Getting ready with that second tire.
That's a great technique right there.
Manual impact.
KEOGHAN: Paul's getting the stands from underneath.
-Gets it started. -[gear grinding]
Oh, that's the worst gear change ever,
but it doesn't matter.
-And Paul gets the win. -Whoo!
[laughter]
-CAROLINA: Good try, Carly. -JESSICA: Good job, Carly.
-You got this, Carly. -Get it going. Come on.
JESSICA: Finish the job. You got it, Carly.
Paul's, like, done, and I'm not stopping.
I've won that challenge, so I might as well
help out my fellow Canadian.
That's what I do. I help people.
I got it. I got it.
Want me to leave you alone?
Yeah, no, I mean, I like you here,
but you're sitting on my tools. Get the [bleep] off.
[laughter]
How much do we love Carly right now?
-Right? Still going. -[cheering]
Good job, buddy. Finish the job.
The other way. The other way.
Shh.
[laughter]
Nothing against his character.
He's a gentleman, upstanding human.
But in that moment,
give me the dignity to finish my job.
Thank you very much.
I clearly got on a shock
and a tire successfully.
KEOGHAN: Here we go. Here we go.
Boom.
[cheering]
Carly was determined to get the job done today.
-Nice job, Carly. -Good job, Carly.
And, Paul, very impressive work
with the way that you did the job.
I am very happy to be safe.
You just don't let yourself get down,
no matter what the odds are against you.
But I'm back on top.
Time to stick it into second gear again.
Carly, you were thinking
the pressure washer and then changed your mind?
Gosh. You know, Phil,
I guess I love cleaning too much,
and it boned me in this operation.
Unfortunately, in this very tough competition,
Carly, I do need you to punch out.
CARLY: I came here to win.
But you tell God your plan and he laughs at you
because it never goes as planned, right?
I think disappointment
and failure is what fuels the fire for perseverance.
The more downs you experience,
the more resilient you get.
Now that I'm out of the individual challenge,
my eggs are fully in the team basket.
The journey is not over.
[cheering]
Each person that's in Dirty Hands
deserves all of my respect, and they have earned it.
I will forever be your Energizer Bunny.
Dirty Hands, we are not done.
Absolutely.
Tomorrow we are back to the team competition.
There is another Badge of Honor
ready to be picked out of the field.
-Oh, boy. -KEOGHAN: Get some rest.
I'll see you in the morning.
CAROLINA: I am so glad Paul didn't punch out.
Having that win
helps the morale of Savage Crew.
We need it as a team.
-Paul. -Good job, hon.
You know, I'm so happy that you won today.
Well, I appreciate it.
AKEELA: I was going to give you a hug.
-But I ain't giving you a hug anymore. -[laughter]

92 with the win!
-Next time onTough As Nails: -No pain, no gain.
JESSICA: We are losing apples!
I gave my whole heart.
You're telling me that I didn't do the best out there?
Hey, lower your [bleep] tone.
Arms are starting to ache for everybody.
Bye-bye, flamingos.
YESI: Keep it up, Cheryl!
This is for me!
BEN: We do not give up!
I will never quit.
